Saw this quiz and since there are some Baby Boomers here, thought it'd be fun. I did get a couple wrong.
Most of this is SO old school. lol

Anyway, if you wanna give it a shot. Sort of a memory lane type thing. wink

TIS, I answered a few of them. Pretty cool and nostalgic.

By the way, do any of ya'll visit where you grew up? Every time my sisters and I visit Pittsburgh, we visit our old neighborhood and drive by our house. We just didn't know how good we had it.

Well, the baby boomers in the U.K "Never had it so good", to quote the then PM, Harold MacMillan, and it probably collarates with the US closely:
1). Education became free for all.
2) The advent of "free love" and subsequently continued their way towards modern sexual discrimination,
3). A booming housing market meant they could buy houses for next to nothing, then sat back and did nothing, and watched house-price inflation make the value of their nest-eggs soar.
4) Fucked up house prices
6). Learned barely little from the previous generation,arguably took us back a generation
7 Continually vote for unprogressive ideas
8. "Kept" their savings and then expected everyone else to look after them when their "old" - rather than bothering about how it might effect their kids mortgages

Unless you're a war hero or self made millionaire, you, as a baby boomer, should consider the total shit fucking mess you've really left for your kids and grandkids to pay for. YOU, yes, YOU, are to blame for a lot of the way things are..no matter how insignificant you feel in the grand scheme of things.

Just my 2 cents
